Maybe the way I’ll play this is through $GENI, which provides data and other tools to multiple customers, instead of one of the commoditized online brokers. Still need to research them more, though.

Anyway, here’s who is going live here in AZ on 9/9 or soon after, with DFS starting tomorrow.

All have welcome offers of some kind, of course. I’m sure I’ll go through all of them at one point or another like many others. Again, I think you can make short-term money on DKNG or PENN but I’m not sure about 3 or 5 years from now. Just look at who’s launching just in this state.

-BetMGM

-Draftkings

-Fanduel

-Caesers

-Wynnbet

-Unibet

-Pointsbet

-Betrivers AZ

-Twinspires

-FoxBet

-Bet365

-Golden Nugget (DKNG bought them though, right?)

-Bally Bet

-theScore Bet

-Barstool

-Betfred Arizona

That’s insane. Also, hooray!

A new meme stock?

It's dropping off a bit now.

Horrible company with hugely declining revenue, down over 50% since 2018 and it appears to be accelerating down each quarter. If anyone is HODLing it, they will be out a lot of money. They are obviously getting destroyed by all the other cloud based companies in their space and their clients are just leaving when their contracts are up.

 
Sold 1 stock in my IRA today that felt like when I sold ZM and FSLY. Has done fantastic for me in a year and it just feels like a top. Bought 150 SPT at $30 in August 2020 and just sold it for over $123. Nice 4 bagger in a year. May go up more but definitely feels extended and my cash is too low in my IRA in case of a dip.

 
Is there a service that will email you which companies will be reporting earnings that day/week? 

Wish I would have known about Peloton.  Would have shorted the heck out of it.  Think it ultimately settles in a $20-$30 range long term. Complete fad stock.

Nice guys. :thumbup:

Why would AMZN job this out though?

Simple, they aren’t a bank and don’t want to hold a loan if you will. They take credit card payments and now extended payment plans, but they only sell the products without worrying about the person actually paying and not defaulting. I’m sure they get a cut but they aren’t taking the risk. They can also see how successful it ends up and whether or not they’d be interested in doing it themselves.

Affirm isn't a bank either. In fact, it appears to be using the same bank that is UPST's largest customer to offer financial services. Certainly there is non-zero regulatory and name risk in this space.

IN AZ.

Gambling with SOXS again this week. Bought at 6.22 right before the close today. Can’t see the semi conductors staying green this week headed into Labor Day.

Have you figured out who has the best offer(s) yet?

MGM has a $200 bonus without a deposit, Fanduel is $75 for betting/$25 DFS. Caesar’s is $100. Those are the ones I’ve seen for pre-registering.

@Bob Sacamano the Caesar’s one is actually more robust than that. They’re also giving you $1 for every point/ run scored in:

-Arizona Cardinals vs. Tennessee Titans (Sunday, Sept. 12)

-ASU vs. UNLV (Saturday, Sept. 11)

-Arizona vs. San Diego State (Saturday, Sept. 11)

-Diamondbacks vs. Mariners (3 Game Series from Sept. 10 to Sept. 12)

I think this is contingent on using the free bet before the first of these but not 100% sure.

It really has. Got way too big a percentage in these guys but I can’t let them go as they are long term holds for me and I just can’t see a world where these aren’t integral to how people live.

Maybe Netflix I could trim a bit. But the others It would just be total hedges against an overall market drop and would be buying the same stuff back and trying to time.

Is this logic wrong?

I’ve only got a big percentage in Amazon although that’s not counting the fact that I know a solid chunk of our 401k funds are likely in them as well. That’s probably why I haven’t bought any others because I know I’ve got them in the 401ks. I think in S&P index funds they make up 20% or so. Amazon’s jumped up a bit more so I may free up some more cash in my taxable account with some that hasn’t appreciated as much. Not looking to get taxed through the wahoo again this year.

 
Tax question for you guys. I’ve got long term gains for this year that are well above short term gains right now. I’ve got some other short term gains I’d like to free up and some other short term losses that could counter those. Do the short term gains/losses always go against each other first? I just want to make sure I don’t sell any short term gains without getting countered, since the tax rate is much higher, because the losses somehow hit the long term.

Never mind, found a TurboTax page that explains it: https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tips/investments-and-taxes/capital-gains-and-losses/L7GF1ouP8

Summary was losses offset gains of the same type first and if there are stil net losses in that type, it can counter the other type of gain.
